Harris the likely nominee, who should be the VP choice?

Bottom line: as Pennsylvania goes so goes this election.
I would expect it's Shapiro to secure Pennsylvania.
I do not believe progressives will pass on a historic chance to elect a progressive female bi-racial Democrat...do you?
I don’t really think you can go wrong with any of them. They all provide something different and they’ll all have some sh!t thrown their way. It’s already started with Shapiro which makes me think the R’s are digging up the dirt expecting it’ll be him. That sexual abuse “coverup” is a big nothing burger - the guy was fired. The “women’s group” that is raising hell is a conservative group with like 200 members.
Shapiro has been my bet all along and I still think he’s the pick. Having said that, I’m digging Walz’ rub-their-noses-in-their-own-sh!t attitude.

Sounds like a complete POS criminal to me and needs to be disbarred and thrown in jail.
Watch the sheep come out to defend this POS
Someone who worked on Walz’s 2006 campaign for congress posted this ad today
This might be the dumbest post in board history, and that’s saying something. Congratulations!
Curious to see who the pick is. I would think would be Shapiro to guarantee Pennsylvania.
LOL. I already knew you were scared of Kamala; I didn't realize you were just plain scared of any Democrat who may hold a powerful national office someday. LOL.
Scared to death of a gay man. Hilarious.
BTW, it's a 100% guarantee that he is considerably more intelligent than you.
He is inferior in every respect to me.
Sorry if this was cleared up in this thread already, but Kelly was first elected to office via special election in '20, then re-elected to a full term in '22. Should he be elected VP in '24, then the Dem AZ Gov would appoint a Dem replacement, but there would be a special election for the final 2 years of that term in '26, in which case it could be a vulnerable Dem Senate seat.
I'm still hoping for Kelly as her VP pick. His biggest drawback is that he's not as talented an orator as Shapiro or Walz, but would still wipe the floor with Vance in a debate.
I’m actually kinda hoping for Walz at this point. PA hasn’t gone red in any election since 2016 so I’m not sure she actually needs Shapiro for that. Having said that, Harris has known Shapiro a really long time and at the end of the day, I think inherent trust in the running mate carries the day.
She'll win PA as long as she has Shapiro's full support and he campaigns for her aggressively. He doesn't need to be her running mate for that. I'm sure there's a lot of negotiating going on between those two in this regard (e.g. "What will you do for PA as President if I'm NOT your running mate?". The problem is that she can't win the election without PA, and if Shapiro gives her the 'ole "you want my support, then you make me your running mate," she may have no choice.
Although I like Walz, I think that having a running mate that might be more progressive than her could cause some issues within the base. I think Kelly and Beshear would bring the most additional votes to the ticket nationwide, but Kelly would likely bring her a swing state, while Kentucky is a lost cause. That's why I'm hoping for Kelly.
Shapiro might be one of the most dynamic public speakers in recent memory.
Walz is not as "outgoing", but also a good choice, imo.
Feeling pretty optimistic that Dems pull this off!

Beshear can't deliver KY but he could turn heads in the battleground states. He'd be popular in NC...certainly more so than Shapiro. I like him
Unless you think Beshear could put red states in play, idk that there’s much benefit to picking him.
I’m honestly far more interested to see if he’s willing to run for the senate seat when Mitch steps down.
They don't need red states in play...there's no pick that will put red states in play. They need to win purple states. Beshear would play very, very well in NC and GA. Then you have very popular Dems stumping in PA, MI, AZ...
Already have Cooper to try and deliver North Carolina.
He may not be able to deliver any red states, but every state that you can put into play and make republicans spend where they don’t want to, that’s a good thing. Put them on defense as much as possible, especially given the challenging senate map.
LOL - The Dim Dems handwringing over who 3% Harris selects as her VP is hilarious.
She has a litany of dregs to choose from as VP.

NC should be in play solely due to the fact that the R candidate for governor is even more of a whack job than Trump.
I really hope it is Walz. I'm not sure what some of you see in Shapiro.
Pennsylvania and those juicy 25 electoral votes. That’s what everyone sees.
Walz is the now the betting favorite however.
